May is over and the Morrowind May Modathon 2020 celebrating the 18th anniversary of all-time classic TES III: Morrowind is coming to an end. But that's not a reason to be sad, oh no, let's instead rejoice at the more than 280 new mods that have been uploaded by their creators during the Modathon - that's quite the spike in mod uploads!

Even (almost) two decades after its release Morrowind truly is one of those games with its own, unique charm. I must say, seeing some of the many new...

We're now three quarters of the way through our Stay Home. Make Mods. event and I'm happy to see so many mod authors have been sharing their content. In Week 3 (20th - 26th April) we had 259 entries from 230 authors across 48 games. Overall we saw 1301 mods shared in total, which is the highest since we started this event. Keep adding the "Stay Home. Make Mods." tag to your mods for you chance to win in this, our final week.

Are you bored being stuck at home? Looking for some inspiration to finally realise that mod idea you've been thinking about? Well then: Stay Home. Make Mods. for your chance to win prizes each week between 6th April and 4th May!

In light of recent world events, we wanted to do our part in helping our community cope with social distancing and self-isolation by giving you something to focus on during this challenging time. So why not make some mods?

Since we last checked in back in November, Tannin and Nagev have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features to Vortex based on your feedback. We've just released Vortex 1.2 into the wild for you all to enjoy, so here's a round-up of what's new.

Updates for modders

Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord support

The wait is finally over! Bannerlord is here and it's great. We were lucky enough to get access to the Bannerlord beta (thanks TaleWorlds!)...

As we come to the end of the second week (13th - 19th April) of Stay Home. Make Mods. I'm excited to see that 234 of our mod authors have submitted 303 mods across 57 games, up 30 from Week 1. That accounts for ~23% of the 1287 mods shared in total. Make sure you keep tagging your mods until 4th May to be in with a chance to win a prize.

Bannerlord and Skyrim SE dominated again this week with 21% and 14% of the entries respectively. It's nice to see more mods from Fallout New Vegas a...

Week 1 of Stay Home. Make Mods. concluded on Sunday 12th April and I want to say a huge thank you to all the authors - old and new - who shared mods with the community through this period. We had a whopping 273 mods from 216 authors across 48 games. That was less than 25% of the 1206 mods uploaded during the week, so don't forget to add the "Stay Home. Make Mods." tag to your mods to enter them.

As our community and site continue to grow, we are looking for suitable additions to our team to work with us in our offices in Exeter, UK. While we have in the past used the site news to let our community know about new job openings, we now have a dedicated careers page that will constantly be updated with all currently available positions.

Ever since the PC release of Monster Hunter: World in August of 2018, we have been amazed to see all the mods and utilities that have been created and released by the Monster Hunter community. This is especially true since the release of the Iceborne DLC in January of this year, when the number for peak current players on Steam surpassed 280,000 - and that spike in interest was of course also reflected in the amount of new mods being released!

Today we have a special treat. We caught up with Tomas Sala, a.k.a. the esteemed Skyrim modder muppetpuppet, about his upcoming game release and his history in modding. For those unfamiliar with his work, muppetpuppet created one of the first "new world" mods for Skyrim back in 2012 - Moonpath to Elsweyr.

Thank you for joining us for this interview Tomas (aka muppetpuppet). So, going back to the very start, when and how did you first get into gaming?

A quick heads up if you've missed it: Kingdom Come: Deliverance is now available for free on the Epic Games store until 20th February (the regular price for the game is ~£24.99 or currency equivalent, so this is a big one). Make sure to grab it alongside Aztez - a unique hybrid of beat 'em up and turn-based strategy - also available free of charge!

In the very early morning of 8th November 2019 we noticed suspicious activity by a potentially malicious third party actor against our services. Using an exploit in our legacy codebase, our logs confirm that they accessed a small number of user records from the old user service.

Even though we were able to secure the endpoint as soon as we discovered the exploit, as a measure of security, we are informing all of you, as we cannot rule out that further a...
